About Claudette

I'd describe myself as kind, loyal, patient, and empathetic. I love working with children because I have nephews of my own, and I've always been told how naturally I connect with kids. I want every child I care for to feel safe, supported, and valued. I believe children thrive with patience, understanding, and encouragement. My experience with children began in high school when I helped care for my first nephew while my sister finished college. Soon after, I volunteered with a nonprofit organization that provided a safe after-school space for children and teens ages 6-17. I spent nearly six years there, building relationships with families, supporting youth, and helping create a positive environment. That experience inspired me to continue working with children as a babysitter. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, baking, and cooking. I especially love learning traditional Guatemalan recipes from my mom and trying new desserts
